Rams CB Trumaine Johnson has a sprained MCL and is expected to miss six weeks.

It's actually good news after Johnson was carted off in noticeable pain Saturday night. It had the looks of a possible season-ending injury. Johnson will certainly miss the opener, and may not be available before Week 2 or 3. The Rams may choose to hold him out through the Week 4 bye. Second-year CB Brandon McGee will likely fill in opposite Janoris Jenkins for the first few weeks of the season. The Johnson injury is a reminder to avoid overdrafting the Rams' fantasy defense, which boasts a talented front four but is leaky in the back seven. Sun, Aug 24, 2014 12:57:00 PM

Rams LCB Trumaine Johnson was carted off with an apparent left knee injury in Saturday's preseason game against the Browns.

Johnson got blown up by one of his own teammates. It had the looks of a serious injury. Johnson buried his head in a towel as he was towed to the locker room. The Rams are thin behind Johnson and fellow starter Janoris Jenkins, with Brandon McGee and sixth-rounder E.J. Gaines serving as the only real depth. The team also has safety/nickel hybrids Lamarcus Joyner and Rodney McLeod. Sat, Aug 23, 2014 09:22:00 PM

Per Wagoner, the team "privately hopes" Quick will be ready for camp. As previously reported, coach Jeff Fisher hedged on the question Wednesday. "It was a very, very difficult early rehab process," Fisher said. "It was an extensive, extensive injury. He's starting to see the light now." It sounds like the team's ultimate goal for Quick is Week 1, meaning he could begin camp on the active/PUP list, and miss some preseason action.
